Why is an introduced pest species more likely to be a generalist than a specialist?
Specialistic species will be less likely to thrive in a new environment especially if they have very specific nutritional climate. (Think panda and bamboo or koala and eucalyptus.)
Introduced generalist species that can subsist on any vegetation, (think of the
introduction of rabbits to Australia), can overrun the more specialized populations and become a pest very rapidly.
What else can I help you with?
If some of the resources in a habitat are destroyed which would be more likely to survive a generalist species or a specialist species?
A generalist species would be more likely to survive because they are able to adapt to different resources and conditions. Specialist species, on the other hand, rely on specific resources and may struggle if those resources are destroyed.
Which term describes a species that has many alternate food sources and that is likely to survive in a changing environment?
Generalist species are able to consume a wide variety of food sources and adapt to various environmental changes, making them more likely to survive in a changing environment compared to specialist species.
Why are garra rufa fish illegal in Australia?
Australia does not have a good history when it comes to introduced species of any description. Any introduced species causes major issues for the native species, so strict controls need to be set up. Aquarium fish are different - few of them which may be accidentally (or on purpose) introduced into Australian waterways are likely to survive; but Garra rufa fish are hardier, and more likely to be introduced. There have been no studies on what kind of effect their introduction would have on the waterways and native species, so it is prudent to make it illegal to have them.
Which famous scientist that introduced the idea of natural selection?
Charles Darwin is the famous scientist who introduced the idea of natural selection through his theory of evolution in his book "On the Origin of Species." Darwin proposed that species that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to the gradual change of species over time.
What specialist studies hepatectomy?
The specialist that studies hepatectomy is likely a surgeon, especially a cancer surgeon.
How does variation in a species help the species survive?
As each new generation is produced, genetic variation may be introduced into a population. The more genetic variation in a population, the more likely it is that some individuals might have traits that will be advantageous if the environment changes.
What do you call a therapist who specializes in abused children?
They would likely be called a childhood trauma specialist or a developmental trauma specialist.
What would most likely prevent this fish from becoming an invasive species?
The fish's inability to survive and reproduce in the new environment, lack of suitable habitat, presence of natural predators or competitors, or effective management strategies such as early detection and rapid response programs would likely prevent it from becoming an invasive species.
How do you spell interdoused?
The likely word is "introduced."
Which specialist is most likely to have a medical degree?
A psychiatrist has a medical degree.
Would a histologist more likely be considered a specialist in microscopic anatomy or in gross anatomy?
A histologist is a specialist in the study of tissues. Because the work uses a microscope, a histologist is a specialist in microscopic anatomy.
What exotic species might be introduced with the building of a golf course?
Exotic species that could potentially be introduced with the building of a golf course include non-native grass species for the fairways, imported trees for landscaping, and invasive plant species that may be brought in accidentally through soil or equipment transport. These introductions can disrupt the local ecosystem by outcompeting native species and altering habitat structure.
